T all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. QmcLE, e citizen of the United States,'andn resident ofNew York'city, county and State of New t, York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Garments, ofwhich the following is e specification.

This invention relates to combination germents, and the objects of theinvention are to ineke a combination garment that is easy to put on ortake off and can be mede either as underwear or as a shirt with drawersattricked. l

Further objects oi the invention are to improve the beck of the garment.

To the accomplishment of the above objects and to such others as mayhereinafter appear the invention comprises a combinetion garment havingshirt and drawers suitably united and open in e straight line from thcneck to the vicinity of the waist line, at which point the frontportions of the garment are cut laterally in both directions, the frontportions ofthe garment overlapping the front portion of the drawers.

The invention further comprises a. back which is cut on a line from theback oi the drawers to the inner side of one of the drawer legs.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a front View of a garment mede inaccordance with the invention Fig. 2 is s'germent shown in Fig. 1 inopen position. Fig. 3 is a back view of a. garment made in accordancewith $5 the invention. Fig. 4 is the garment shown inFig. 3 in' openposition.

' ARe erring to the drawings, 1 designates thev body of anunderga-rment, or union ILsnit, to which is secured the drawers 2, in

. 46 the present instance shcwn'es of knee length,

although the seme may be made longer if so desired. i l The body i isopen down the front, as. shownat 3, thc opening extending from the t5neck"l to the vicinity of the-waist Line of the garment. The frontportions Il of .the garment,tbat forin the opening 3, are out in we.straight line froin'the neck tothe vicinity of the waist line, at whichpoint the front di! portions 4 ere cnt laterally in both direc- "tions"to the points 5, to permit of the ger'.

ment being opened es shown in F ig. 2.

The front portion 6 of the drawersd is i arranged to be overlapped bythe iront por.i v6l tions It of the garmeptand closed by ineen From. theabove description it will be seenI that the garment, shown in Figs. 1and 2, when open, affords a, very large opening to facilitate thegarment being put on or taken oil'. lt will also be seen that .thisconstrue# c tion does not necessitate the front of the drawers beingopen to the weist line, thev same being preferably closed at the top tofacilitate the closing and lit of the garment.

The front portions l nre preferably out and attached to the front of thedrawers so es to overlap the seme when closed as shown in Fig. l. Thisnnderlepping of the front portion of the drawers permits of the garmentbeing opened by unfastening only one of the buttons 7, withoutnnfestening the other Vbutton '7. l v

-ln the cese of a stout person this construction permits of the buttons7 being set more nearly to the top of the drawers, without altering thegarment otherwise so as to lengthen the front of the garment.

Y In' Figs. 3 and 4 is shown the back of the garment, which can beapplied to any form of garment of the union type, which is open on a.line 10 from the point 11 at the beck of the drawers, to the point 12 atthe inner side of one of the drawer legs, the' opening being closed byIneens of buttons 13 or other suitable means. When the' beck isunbuttoned the same can be folded back, as shown in Fig. 4, adording s,very lrge opening 'thnt'is very conveniently opened or closed. While tneinvention has been described with particular reference to anundergarnient, it is obvious that the body of the gernient can be madein the form of a. dress or neglige shirt with drawers attached.

While the invention has been described with particular reference to thedetails of construction, the same is not to be considered` es limitedthereto, as many changes can be made and still fall within the scope ofthe invention set forth in the following 'cleims What I claim is: f

1. combination garment comprising a. one-piece suit, consisting of shirtand drew-v .ers combined, the front of said shirt being out on astreight'line from the neck to the vicinity of the waist line, andthence laterllo ally in'both directions to aV mid-point on the outsideof the drawers, thereby formingtwo flaps which may be turned backwardlaterally from the neck to the drawers, the lower ends `of said iiapsbeing arranged to overlap the front of said drawers, and means forbuttoning said flaps together, and to the front of said drawers.

2. Acombinatioiii-garxnent comprising a,

one-piece sut,'co3a's1stmg Aof shirt and--draw-f ers combined, the-backof said drawers, .com-

prising the seat; being cut on 'aline starting froni a xnid-point in theback to the inner side of the bottom of one of the drawer legs,

In testimony whereof I have signed this 10 .specification in thepresence of two subscrib-r y lng witnesses.

EDWARD J. QUIGLEY.
